Same. I remember playing the original on an Amstrad in the 90s and it was already mind blowing. I was so happy they remade it, and even happier that they barely changed anything about it.
Comment on Sid Meier's Pirates, and everyone else in the game, are aware of the date...

Goodness I loved that game. Then it wouldn’t run for awhile. Then it worked again. Maybe.
I’d love a new one but I’m not hoping anymore.

Running it wasn’t exactly straightforward. My DVD copy was a no-go, but I managed to get the GOG version working in a 32-bit Wine prefix with DXVK. (I’m on linux.)
Remaining problems are lack of wide-screen support (so I run it in a full-height window) and pauses between various scenes (which I might be able to solve with an older Wine version). It’s playable already, though; I’m glad I put in a little effort. Other people wanting to try it might want to use Lutris, which seems to have install scripts for it, or a console emulator.

I am on windows, so I’m not quite sure why my steam version of the game just…stopped working one day. And the work around fixed it. Until it didn’t. But now it’s better? Maybe? I haven’t checked in a few months, maybe it’s back to Not Better.
Ahhhh computers.

At the very least, my steam copy on windows 10 worked just fine a week ago on my yearly playthrough.
